History of torture

Does a human truly develop towards a higher civilization? Or are we today as savage as we were at the dawn of history? This book is a charter of brutality and a record of the savage atrocities committed — even in the name of religion and justice. The facts are terrifying, but no description, no matter how precise and vivid, can describe the unspoken truth. This book aims to shock, as humans need to be shocked through their awareness of their capacity for brutality.
